JESSICA SIMPSON has shocked fans by admitting she has suffered at the hands of an abuser.

The sexy singer dropped the revelation in the midst of a candid interview with America’s Elle magazine – but she refused to reveal details of her torment.

When asked if she had ever been the victim of abuse, Jessica replied: “I don’t want to talk about it, but I have definitely experienced abuse in a way that I would tell people to take their heart and run.”

Perhaps we’ll learn more about her ordeal via her forthcoming country album, which gorgeous Jess has based entirely on her own life experiences.

One line from new track Remember That reveals: “It doesn’t matter how he hurts you/ With his hands or with his words/ You don't deserve it/ It ain't worth it/ Take your heart and run.”
